Answer:

Because John F. Kennedy thought that the United States freedom depended on the ability of the underdeveloped world to build independent nations as an strategy to avoid them to become Cold War battlefields.

Explanation:

President John F. Kennedy issued an order to establish the Peace Corps in 1961 as a trial which was one of the most innovative programs of the Cold War. People of the underdeveloped countries were struggling for economic and social progress  and he thought that our own future freedom depended on their ability to build growing and independent nations where men could live with dignity liberated from the bonds of hunger, ignorance and poverty. Kennedy warned that the underdeveloped world were in danger of becoming Cold War battlefields. During the 1960s and 1970s, thousands of young American volunteers worked side by side with people from Latin America and Africa to help build sewer and water systems; construct and teach in schools; assist in developing new crops and agricultural methods to increase productivity; and participated in numerous other projects. Overall, the program was judged a success.

Francisco Vázquez de Coronado planned to search for Cíbola by __________.
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Francisco Vázquez de Coronado planned to search for Cíbola by relying on Friar Marcos de Niza to be his guide.

Explanation:

Cibola was a legendary city that was believed to be located somewhere in the American southwest. According to tradition it possessed unprecedented wealth.

As the Spaniards began to discover the New World, the idea arose that the city of Cibola might be located on this continent.  In 1527, an expedition by the Spanish explorer Pánfilo de Narváez was shipwrecked off the coast of modern-day Texas. Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was one of the few survivors, who said they had heard the Indians talk about cities of enormous wealth.  

Cibola has also been described by Marcos de Niza, a Franciscan monk, who claimed to have seen one of the cities from a distance on a journey of discovery.

In 1540, an expedition of the Spanish explorer Francisco Vásquez de Coronado set out to discover these seven cities and seize the alleged riches. However, the journey turned into a disappointment and many of the expedition members died along the way.
